Is there a way to slow the speaker down? This is my most challenging aspect of learning French...understanding what is being said.

Depuis with Passé Composé

If a date or measurement of time is not included in a sentence, can you use passé composé with depuis? Examples:

"On parle de ce qui s'est passé depuis qu'on s'est vues."

" Depuis quelques années, le lac a diminué."

Thank you!

imperfect tenseI am in Canada trying to get my french levels for work and they do not teach or use the french imperfect tense here. How do I skip these types of questions without it impacting my score? Do I simply skip? Will the program keep recommending these areas to study and keep adding them to my tests?

Spaced repetitionIs there going to be a spaced repetition feature included on this website? I find that is very useful with e.g. flash cards and duolingo to help solidify concepts in your repertoire.
